2015-06-06moductypes: Swap address and descriptor args in constructor.Paul Sokolovsky
Now address comes first, and args related to struct type are groupped next. Besides clear groupping, should help catch errors eagerly (e.g. forgetting to pass address will error out). Also, improve args number checking/reporting overall.
2015-04-16py: Overhaul and simplify printf/pfenv mechanism.Damien George
Previous to this patch the printing mechanism was a bit of a tangled mess. This patch attempts to consolidate printing into one interface. All (non-debug) printing now uses the mp_print* family of functions, mainly mp_printf. All these functions take an mp_print_t structure as their first argument, and this structure defines the printing backend through the "print_strn" function of said structure. Printing from the uPy core can reach the platform-defined print code via two paths: either through mp_sys_stdout_obj (defined pert port) in conjunction with mp_stream_write; or through the mp_plat_print structure which uses the MP_PLAT_PRINT_STRN macro to define how string are printed on the platform. The former is only used when MICROPY_PY_IO is defined. With this new scheme printing is generally more efficient (less layers to go through, less arguments to pass), and, given an mp_print_t* structure, one can call mp_print_str for efficiency instead of mp_printf("%s", ...). Code size is also reduced by around 200 bytes on Thumb2 archs.
2015-04-11py: Combine load_attr and store_attr type methods into one (attr).Damien George
This simplifies the API for objects and reduces code size (by around 400 bytes on Thumb2, and around 2k on x86). Performance impact was measured with Pystone score, but change was barely noticeable.
2015-01-20py, unix: Allow to compile with -Wunused-parameter.Damien George
See issue #699.
2015-01-12py, unix, lib: Allow to compile with -Wold-style-definition.Damien George
2015-01-01extmod: Prefix py/ for includes from py core directory.Damien George
2014-12-10py: Make functions static where appropriate.Damien George
2014-12-05py: Rename mp_obj_int_get to mp_obj_int_get_truncated; fix struct.pack.Damien George
mp_obj_int_get_truncated is used as a "fast path" int accessor that doesn't check for overflow and returns the int truncated to the machine word size, ie mp_int_t. Use mp_obj_int_get_truncated to fix struct.pack when packing maximum word sized values. Addresses issues #779 and #998.
2014-11-29Use MP_DEFINE_CONST_DICT macro to define module dicts.Damien George
This is just a clean-up of the code. Generated code is exactly the same.
2014-10-30moductypes: Make .sizeof() work with bytearrays.Paul Sokolovsky
2014-10-30moductypes: When dereferencing a field which is array of uint8, use bytearray.Paul Sokolovsky
Because bytearrays are much friendlier to work with, e.g. they can be printed easily.
2014-10-30moductypes: Make sure we can apply .sizeof() to all aggregate types.Paul Sokolovsky
Before, sizeof() could be applied to a structure field only if that field was itself a structure. Now it can be applied to PTR and ARRAY fields too. It's not possible to apply it to scalar fields though, because as soon as scalar field (int or float) is dereferenced, its value is converted into Python int/float value, and all original type info is lost. Moreover, we allow sizeof of type definitions too, and there int is used to represent (scalar) types. So, we have ambiguity what int may be - either dereferenced scalar structure field, or encoded scalar type. So, rather throw an error if user tries to apply sizeof() to int.
2014-10-06py: Make mp_binary_set_val work on big endian machine.Damien George
2014-09-27Fix timer overflow code.Dave Hylands
Teensy doesn't need to worry about overflows since all of its timers are only 16-bit. For PWM, the pulse width needs to be able to vary from 0..period+1 (pulse-width == period+1 corresponds to 100% PWM) I couldn't test the 0xffffffff cases since we can't currently get a period that big in python. With a prescaler of 0, that corresponds to a freq of 0.039 (i.e. cycle every 25.56 seconds), and we can't set that using freq or period. I also tested both stmhal and teensy with floats disabled, which required a few other code changes to compile.
2014-09-02extmod: Fix type-punned-ptr error.Damien George
2014-08-30Change some parts of the core API to use mp_uint_t instead of uint/int.Damien George
Addressing issue #50, still some way to go yet.
2014-08-12stmhal: Enable moductypes by default.Damien George
Also fixes compiler error in moductypes when compiled without debugging. Addresses issue #778.
2014-08-10moductypes: Remove debug inclusion of stdio.h .Paul Sokolovsky
2014-07-31py: Make MP_OBJ_NEW_SMALL_INT cast arg to mp_int_t itself.Damien George
Addresses issue #724.
2014-07-11moductypes: Add symbolic constants to specify bitfield position/length.Paul Sokolovsky
2014-07-09moductypes: Foreign data interface module, roughly based on ctype ideas.Paul Sokolovsky
But much smaller and memory-efficient. Uses Python builtin data structures (dict, tuple, int) to describe structure layout.
